my car is a newage sti8 (not prodrive)

i've put a sports cat downpipe on removed 2nd cat scoobysport centre and tsl backbox ,kn panel apart from that its standard.
The car dosn't get full boost till about 3200rpm is this normal just seems laggy!

 

I'm sure that someone will correct me here, but I am led to believe that after modifications such as the ones that you have had done it is always recommended that you get an ecu remap. I have a WRX wagon with STI intercooler + panel filter, pro-drive system with sports cat and new fuel pump. I had a remap done at the same time so don't know how it would have driven without the remap, just know that afterwards it was very responsive.

 

3200rpm for full boost I would of thought is normal. The mods you have done will be adjusted by the ecu adapting

 

im fairly sure that mine hits full boost at the same RPM (about 1.2bar). When I eventually get time I am going to take mine along to Bob Rawle for another remap though as the boost is only smooth when my right foot is totally planted, if I acclerate gently it feels like the turbo cuts in and out. Weird.

 

i,m looking at a re-map for my scooby and i,ve heard mr rawle is very good . does anyone know where his is based and how much he charges roughly

 

If you go for a ECUTEC remap its probably around £600 first time and if you have already had a ECUTEC map then around £300.

Think he is based in Swindon.

Contact AndrewC - he will be able to remap your car, and is based in the North West. £300 for a newage car, no ecutek license required.
